The police department in Racine, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee, reported on Twitter that multiple gunshots were fired at Graceland Cemetery, leaving an unspecified number of victims, but few additional details were given.
A man who lives across the street from the cemetery, Rey Brantley, told the TV station he was picking his daughter up from school when he heard gunfire, and that his son was playing basketball nearby and came close to being shot. “Those people were attending a funeral.” His son, Trey Brantley, said he heard “bullets whistling past us” and ran for cover with others.
The shooting came a day after a gunman killed four people and himself at a medical center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.Nineteen school children and two teachers were shot to death on May 24 during a siege at an elementary school in Uvalde,Texas, that ended when police killed the 18-year-old assailant.
